A Pentatonix Christmas is the fifth studio album by American a cappella group Pentatonix. It is also their second full-length holiday album since That's Christmas to Me in 2014. Featuring two new original songs, "Good to Be Bad" and "The Christmas Sing-Along",^[1] A Pentatonix Christmas debuted on the Billboard 200 at number three with 52,000 albums sold in its first week,^[2] and later peaked at number one, selling 206,000 units in its best week.^[3] A Pentatonix Christmas marks as their second number one album on the Billboard 200 after Pentatonix.^[3] The album also debuted atop the Billboard Holiday Albums chart, their second number one on that chart after That's Christmas to Me.^[2] The deluxe edition of the album dropped from number 6 to 200 on the Billboard 200 in 2018, the greatest drop for an album that still remained on the chart, in Billboard history.^[4] The album also, with a guest appearance by The Manhattan Transfer, marked the first recording by the fourth iteration of the group, as this was Trist Curless' first participation with the group in a recording since the death of Tim Hauser, whom Curless officially replaced in 2014.
